The Kitchen Sisters, Nikki Silva and Davia Nelson, are well-known public radio producers and hosts of the NPR podcast, The Keepers . They discussed their new series that documents the small island of Tangier in Virginia, where rising sea levels are posing an existential threat to the community.

Silva further explained that Tangier is home to a unique culture with a distinct dialect attributed to its British colonist ancestors. These aspects of Tangier’s locate heritage are of great interest to folklorists and conservationists, like Silva and Nelson.

Nelson expounded upon the Sisters’ experiences staying on Tangier. There, they witnessed first hand the community’s struggle to maintain its island, culture, and resilience despite serious environmental challenges.

This article focused primarily on Silva and Nelson’s storytelling efforts about Tangier Island and the people living there. The threats of rising sea level and how it is impacting the lives, culture, and language of Tangier’s inhabitants were heavily detailed.

However, the distinct dialect, lifestyle, and the heritage of Tangiers inhabitant are not related to the primary topic and therefore were removed. Similarly, details about Silva and Nelson’s experiences and emotions while on the island were also deemed irrelevant and omitted. The article now focuses entirely on the struggles of the Tangier community against rising sea levels and the conservation and preservation efforts taking place there.
